NAME ahaversin - inverse half versed trigonometric sine SYNOPSIS ahaversin(x [,eps]) TYPES x number (real or complex) eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon() return real DESCRIPTION Returns the inverse half versed trigonometric sine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in absolute value than .75 * eps. This function is sometimes called ahavers, or archaversin, is equivalent to: ahaversin(x) = acos(1 - 2*x) EXAMPLE ; print ahaversin(0), ahaversin(0.5), ahaversin(1) 0 1.57079632679489661923 3.14159265358979323846 ; print ahaversin(-0.5), ahaversin(-1) 1.31695789692481670863i 1.76274717403908605045i ; print ahaversin(.5, 1e-5), ahaversin(.5, 1e-10), ahaversin(.5, 1e-15), ahaversin(.5, 1e-20) 1.5708 1.5707963268 1.570796326794897 1.57079632679489661923 ; print ahaversin(5), ahaversin(5i) 3.14159265358979323846-2.88727095035762068499i 1.47161428291640388291+3.0031252437131292174i ; print ahaversin(5+5i) 2.30223844993908362988+3.29254348147605425081i ; pi = pi(1e-20) ; print ahaversin(pi/6), ahaversin(pi/3) 1.61801141852728010475 3.14159265358979323846-0.4311526751624601302i ; print ahaversin(4*pi/3) 3.14159265358979323846-2.68696776930293700505i LIMITS 0 < eps < 1 LINK LIBRARY NUMBER *qahaversin_or_NULL(NUMBER *q, NUMBER *epsilon); NUMBER *qahaversin(NUMBER *q, NUMBER *epsilon); COMPLEX *c_ahaversin(COMPLEX *c, NUMBER *epsilon); SEE ALSO sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, csc asin, acos, atan, acot, asec, acsc versin, coversin, vercos, covercos aversin, acoversin, avercos, acovercos haversin, hacoversin, havercos, hacovercos hacoversin, havercos, ahacovercos epsilon ## Copyright (C) 2023 Landon Curt Noll ## ## Calc is open software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under ## the terms of the version 2.1 of the GNU Lesser General Public License ## as published by the Free Software Foundation. ## ## Calc is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ## ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY ## or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
